German term
Belastungs-Beanspruchungs-Konzept
German to English
Social Sciences
Psychology
This is from the description of a questionnaire that measures people's stress levels. The terms Belastung, Beanspruchung and Stress occur repeatedly throughout the text, e.g.:
Das Belastungs-Beanspruchungs-Konzept, das der Entwicklung des Verfahrens XXX zugrunde liegt, orientiert sich sehr eng an Modellen der psychologischen Stressforschung. Stress wird als psychischer Beanspruchungszustand verstanden, der selbst auch noch nach Wegfall der Belastungen für eine Zeit anhält.
It's clear to me that Belastung is the level of exposure to stress and that Beanspruchung is the individual's response to the Belastung (From another text: "Die Beanspruchung ist die individuelle Reaktion des Mitarbeiters auf die Belastung. Die Belastung ist also die Voraussetzung für die Beanspruchung"). But I'm struggling to distinguish the two succinctly without using the word "stress" too often (because if I use "stress" for Beanspruchung, I shan't know what to do with "Stress wird als psychischer Beanspruchungszustand verstanden".

stress-strain concept
The stress-strain concept as an engineering approach serving the interdisciplinary work design:
The proposed Stress-Strain Concept can serve as a framework for the retrieval and the application of ergonomic knowledge from different disciplines. It distinguishes and links the objective side and the subjective side of human work. It operationalizes the abstract work task by formulating it in a human-centered way, such that individual strain is a consequence of the objective stress emerging from work demands. Against the background of the shift from energetic to informatoric work demands, the Stress-Strain Concept is a tool to reveal the dependency of the efficiency of a work system on humane aspects. It aims at unifying application-oriented knowledge and at providing a means for achieving interdisciplinary work design, where the multidisciplinary knowledge is comprehended in an anticipative way. @ 1995 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.;

Established theories from economics and social sciences have been applied in our model, among them the stress-strain-concept, the contrastive task analysis (KABA), and the phase model for the management of information systems;

Comment: "Perfect. Lots of Google refs. to "stress-strain concept" in the context of ergonomics and psychology confirm that this is indeed the standard term. Many thanks."

pressure / demands
Just a suggestion to paraphrase: feeling of pressure, response to demands, etc.
Hopefully this is helpful.

stress - stress response
Hi Armorel, I think it is acceptable to use "stress response" to distinguish "Beanspruchung" from "Belastung/Stress"
See more information on wikipedia.
Other options include: "strain/tension"
Good luck, hope you are not too stressed by finding the correct term! :-)

Stress is a condition or feeling experienced when a person perceives that “demands exceed the personal and social resources the individual is able to mobilize.” S. Lazarus
Another approach to defining stress is much broader:
The generalised response of the mind and body to any demand.
